For my people will live as long as trees...For they are people blessed by the Lord,and their children too, will be blessed. I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs,I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

Lemon curd buns

Lemon curd buns
Ever since i had discovered the ultimate sweet bread recipe, my mind was swimming with ideas of making it with different types of sweet & savoury fillings, of which a lemon curd filling was one among them! At first i thought of doing it with the store bought lemon curd, but then this weekend with time hanging heavily on my hands ( it was drizzling continously outside), i decided to prepare this lemon curd from scratch to kill time & boredom!:) I was soon rewarded with some cheerfully yellowish sweet & tangy lemon curd which made up for the grey grey grey weather outside! And the lemon curd inside the warm & fluffy bun was tangilicious!;) As soon as they came out of the oven,the aroma was soo tempting that i had a bun inspite of having stuffed myself during lunch! I am looking forward to having it again for breakfast tomorrow! They also taste great at room temperature.Ingredients:

For the buns:Knead the dough , punching it several times to get rid of the air bubbles, spread the dough into a rectangle, sprinkle the lemon peels & reknead the dough once again to form a ball. Divide the dough into 6 balls. Shape each ball into cups & place about 1 1/2 tbsps of the lemon curd filling in the centre & shape into buns, taking care to seal the opening very well in order to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking. Brush the balls with the egg glaze & decorate with some additional candied lemon peels if desired & cover & allow to proof for another 45 mins. Preheat the oven to 170°c & just before putting them into the oven, rebrush them once again with the egg glaze & bake for about 20 mins or till done. Cool & serve.
